Many of these methods depend on regression function for finding optimal values. In this research, a new method was adopted based on the change of the signal of the first derivative, where the update is based on the reference of the first derivative of the function. The results show that this method can be used to find optimization, as well as that it is very sensitive to the chosen range.
